The Black Keys are in Denver for two sold out shows and Tom Whalen is the artist for both nights. He put a great South Park theme on the poster. Poster comes signed and numbered with an edition of 325. Big thanks to blog reader Dillon for the picture.

Baroness kicked off their tour last Wednesday in Columbus Ohio and as I showed you HERE Aaron Horkey did the tour poster with John Dyer Baizley. Now John Baizley had local artist Ryan Mowry do the event poster for the show. Ryan will be selling a limited amount on Monday April 30th at a random time via www.etsy.com/people/pencilplan.

They sold out at the show so Ryan doesn't have many left. They are 18x24 on French paper Co. on speckletone paper
cream-cordtone, and signed and numbered.

"The piece is based on the song "Ground" by Celtic Frost. I love and
cherish that song, I relate to it really well. The lyrics written on the
piece are from the song "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra. I
love and cherish that song as well, but can't relate to it. I thought it
made for a nice juxtaposition, the intense pain of "Ground" with the
happy, upbeat lyrics of ELO, something very foreign." - Derek Hess

This combo available for $85 includes:
(1) Signed copy of Derek Hess' latest book "Black Line White Lie"
(1) 13 x 13 Signed and numbered print of "Ground"

This is a 6" x 6" UV print on sustainable FSC certified 3/4" plywood. Comes ready to hang, and is signed and numbered on front. Because these are printed on wood, each print is unique. This is the first print in a series of these little guys (and girls). I am teaming up with Prints On Wood on these and we will be offering a new print in the set each month.

If you order one during this time, you are guaranteed to receive one. $1 from every print sold goes to plantabillion.org and will plant one tree!

The subscription includes 13 exclusive pieces of various colors containing assorted (random) brain sculpts. They will be shipped at the rate of 2 per month for 6 months.

This print was created for Revolver magazine's Golden Gods Awards in
April of 2012. An annual heavy metal awards show, this year featured
performances and appearances by legends such as Marilyn Manson, Slash,
Gene Simmons, Dee Snider, and Nikki Sixx.

One of the coolest figures they have released this year Supreme NOM is now on sale in the 3A store. Just an incredible figure from the mind of Ashley Wood. For those of us that can't be at the Re-Venture Show in Hong Kong it's a little something.

Dark Hall Mansion is thrilled to finally unveil a project that has been
in development for over one full year: the first officially licensed,
limited edition print Folio for The Beatles 1968 cinematic masterpiece,
Yellow Submarine.

Dark Hall Mansion has been working closely with Live Nation Merchandise,
The Beatles’ North American Licensing Agent, and Apple Corps Ltd. in
developing a series of limited edition screen prints by leading
contemporary artist, Tom Whalen, all to be offered in select, limited
edition and numbered print Folios. Tom Whalen’s stunning artwork for
these prints draws directly from The Beatles’ legendary 1968 classic
Yellow Submarine and is the first time The Beatles have formally allowed
a contemporary artist to reinterpret their classic film’s imagery
within an art print format.

Tom Whalen has crafted an extraordinary series of 5 prints for The
Beatles official Yellow Submarine Folio that reinterprets Yellow
Submarine while staying faithful to its timeless legacy of originality.
Each print is individually numbered, 18″ x 24″ in size, and each is
lovingly and meticulously screen printed, by hand, with all prints
housed within their own Folio protective cases, also designed by artist
Tom Whalen and beautifully bearing the film’s classic Yellow Submarine
and original 1968 film release date on its respective case cover. An
extraordinary set whose select and limited edition run numbers ensures
they will be competed for byBeatles collectors and fans worldwide, each
Whalen print is a stand alone work of beauty that captures the essence
and magic that is Yellow Submarine.

The limited edition Yellow Submarine Folios, each with 5 completely
different screen prints per Folio, each print representing a key moment
or theme from Yellow Submarine, will be highly collectible as there will
be only 797 Standard Folio Editions, 135 Variant Folio Editions (in a
varied color way) plus an exclusive edition of 68 Folio Editions, the
“Elite ’68,” which will be rendered in yet another completely different
color scheme with striking metallic inks and with each individual print
within the Elite edition personally signed by artist Tom Whalen.

Yellow Submarine, based upon a song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney,
is a fantastic tale brimming with peace, love, and hope, propelled by
Beatles songs, including “Eleanor Rigby,” “When I’m Sixty-Four,” “Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “It’s All Too Much,” and “All You
Need Is Love.” When the film debuted in 1968, it was instantly
recognised as a landmark achievement, revolutionizing a genre by
integrating the freestyle approach of the era with innovative animation
techniques. Inspired by the generation’s new trends in art, the film
resides with the dazzling Pop Art styles of the ’60s.

All Yellow Submarine Folios, regardless of edition, are strictly
numbered and come with their own official COA (Certificate of
Authenticity). These officially licensed Beatles Yellow Submarine Folios
will be offered for sale on May 29, 2012 exclusively through Dark Hall
Mansion, http://www.DarkHallMansion.com/ via their online store http://www.darkhallmansionstore.com
and will coincide with the release of the digitally restored 1968
animated feature film Yellow Submarine. Pricing and availability of The
Beatles Yellow Submarine Folio editions will be $300 for the Standard
Folio Edition of 5 prints, $450 for the Variant Folio Edition of 5
prints and $675 for the Elite ’68 Folio Edition of 5 prints, with each
housed in its custom designed protective case along with its own
registered COA (Certificate of Authenticity).

Jon Smith is the featured artist for April at Rick G's 112 Print Works in Seattle, a ton of his work is up on the wall there and for sale
until they take it down on the 4th for the May show.

There's a bunch of Jon's stuff there, most of the
concert posters he's done from the last couple years BUT the point of
the post is that he pulled out a couple(like 2 or 3) of his sold out Nothing Is Fucked and Wiser Fella prints just for local folks. This the last chance for the Seattle uber collector
nerds to get one of these prints if they missed out since Jon is moving to Austin soon.

The other thing is he did a print for that showcase
thing but it's not available on the 112 Print Works site yet but they're
available in person there. It's a mashup of imagery
from his Built To Spill, Black Keys Detroit, Gaslight Anthem and
Walkmen Sasquatch posters. 4 colors, 18"x24" signed and numbered edition of 50

Today, Friday the 27th at 2pm EST, Daniel Danger will be selling copies of both the
poster for At The Drive-In's hometown reunion show earlier this month
and the American Horror Story panel at Paleyfest 2012.

Official poster for At The Drive In reunion in El Paso, TX. april 13th, 2012
15x30” 5-color screenprint, signed & numbered artists edition of 100. $60
this is based off the infamous “classroom show” bootleg of the band from the late 90s.

12x24" 5-color screenprint, signed & numbered AP edition of 50. $40
anyone who's caught American Horror Story knows that its a little out
there, and its heavy on the atmosphere given the house is pretty much
the star of the show. Accordingly, its right up Daniel's alley. For what its
worth, according to Daniel this is probably his favorite use of the figure as the light source he's ever pulled off.

“Sometimes the thing you set out to make turns into something you
didn’t expect along the way. Inspired by the song “Eyeoneye” from
Andrew Bird’s new record, this poster began as straightforward
exploration of two eyes overlapping. What emerged was a bold and
simple owl head. You know, a bird…” -White Bicycle
